Page 8 The Daily Herald, Wausau-Merrill, Wis. -Tuesday, Feb. 27, 1979 Fierce fighting reported in northwest Vietnam Gilbert Hintze "meritorious service, second class for the timely completion of a pontoon bridge across the Binh Giang River under heavy enemy fire" Feb. 20 near the county seat of Phuc Hoa, in Cao Bang province about 110 miles northeast of Hanoi. Hsinhua also said the first thing its troops do when entering evacuated Vietnamese villages is sweep streets, clean houses and feed livestock.

The report, carried Monday by the Hong Kong Communist newspaper Wen Wei Po, seemed aimed at countering Vietnamese charges of Chinese atrocities in the invasion. China invaded with the declared aim of punishing Vietnam for border provocations. Cai, reported captured by the Chinese last week, are in the Red River Valley, -the strategic water, rail and highway corridor leading to Hanoi. In coastal Quang Ninh province at the other end of the 450-mile-long border, Vietnamese forces intercepted and killed a large number of Chinese troops over the weekend west of Mong Cai village and near the Bac Luan bridge, the broadcast said. No figures were given, but Hanoi has claimed its troops have killed more than 16,000 Chinese since Peking invaded Feb.

The official Voice of Vietnam said the fighting was concentrated in the Cam Duong area which sits astride the Red River delta corridor which runs from the frontier to the Vietnamese capital.

The broadcast also said two more Chinese companies were decimated in Lang Son province northeast of Hanoi Monday and another 250 Chinese soldiers were killed or wounded in the past two days in Phong Tho district of Lai Chau province. Phong Tho is 15 miles inside Vietnam and 190 miles orthwest of Hanoi. Vietnam claimed Monday its troops were holding fast in the Cam Duong area and inflicted heavy casualties on the invaders at the other end of the frontier. Radio Hanoi said the Vietnamese withstood a Chinese armored and infantry attack from three directions Monday in the Cam Duong area, on the Red River south of the provincial capital of Lao Cai and about 150 miles northwest of Hanoi. The broadcast said the Vietnamese counter-attacked and killed 1,400 Chinese around Cam Duong, but that fighting continued in the area.

Even if the White House plan is approved, none of the standby measures would be put into effect until the president declared an energy emergency and, even then, either house of Congress could block implementation of the program.

Elsie Traska, Wausau. Strange odor in city Have you noticed a strange odor in Wausau on recent mornings? Wausau Police and Mayor John L. Kannenberg have received calls complaining about the smell. Police officers on patrol have also reported a strange odor. To some persons the odor is similar to that of sewage gas.

Police suspect it might be the strong odor given off by automobiles burning unleaded gasoline. "It has a terrible odor," one man said. 'Just follow a car using the unleaded gas and find out." A man, apparently mentally disturbed, stood in his shirt sleeves on a downtown street corner about 5 a.m. today yelling about the strong odor of gas and warning there would be an explosion. Chief Sylvester Gajewski said he has received a number of calls and indicated he would ask the health department to investigate.

The odor is different from that coming from paper mills or cheese producers. The odor seems to be strongest in the early morning hours and lessens as the sun comes up. Schmitz talks to Optimists Lawrence Schmitz, director of adult mental health services at Marathon Health Care Center and a candidate for the Wausau School Board, addressed the Wausau Noon Optimists Monday. Schmitz discussed job-related stress and methods to deal with stress-related problems. He pointed out that stress is essential to good job performance and satisfaction but added that we must achieve a balance between various kinds of stress.

He also said it is important to develop the correct attitudes in managing the things which cause stress, so that these "stressers" can be useful instead of harmful. An example would be driving home from work, which can be either a stressful situation in rush hour traffic or a relaxing interlude between home and work, he said.
